However, as the adoption oftelehealthhas been on rising the demand for knowledge, expertise and consulting solutions will increase.
The pharmaceutical segment dominated the market for animal health and held the largest revenue share of over 33.7% in 2021. It is estimated to retain its dominant position throughout the forecast period on account of consistent advancements in veterinary drugs. Pharmaceuticals primarily include anti-inflammatory drugs, parasiticides,antibiotics, and others. It is also believed that a considerable increase in companion animal ownership has also expedited the adoption of pharmaceuticals to help increase longevity. Moreover, an increasing number of mergers and acquisitions, for instance, the acquisition of Bayer by Elanco has resulted in the multimarket distribution of their products, including pharmaceuticals. Mergers and acquisitions are considered one of the key factors contributing to segment growth over the years.
兽医诊断段预计witness significant growth over the forecast period. Various factors such as growing animal health expenditure, rising incidence of zoonotic diseases, and increasing number of veterinary practitioners and their incomes in developed economies are also responsible for market growth. Companies are investing in the expansion of their manufacturing facilities, which is expected to positively influence the market for animal health over the forecast period. There has been an increase in the demand for point-of-care diagnostics, such as blood glucose monitors, pregnancy kits, and urinalysis strips, by pet owners. Food animal diagnostics remain confined to labs due to high sensitivity and efficacy requirements in disease testing.
The others segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 16.1% from 2022 to 2030. This segment is inclusive of the other vet care products and services such as grooming,veterinary telehealth,veterinary software,livestock monitoring, and others. Growing R&D activities for the development of better and more efficient products are anticipated to boost the market for animal health. Besides, market growth is driven by the growing prevalence of diseases among companion animals, increasing focus on animal health among pet owners, growing animal health expenditure, increasing population of companion animals, rising demand for pet insurance, and the increasing number of the veterinary surgeon and income levels in developed economies.
The production animal segment dominated the market for animal health and accounted for the largest revenue share of over 64.0% in 2021. The substantial share captured by the segment can be presumed a consequence of high concern for food safety and sustainability by government healthcare organizations globally. Policymakers in various countries are striving to achieve total food security, which propels large-scale food production and results in greater rearing of livestock. The policies are focused on long-term sustainability, which can be achieved through a combination of improving productivity and greater attention to livestock veterinary healthcare.
According to Food and Agriculture Organization, in the emerging economies, animal-based food products account for one-third of human protein consumption, leading to an increase in livestock productivity, which is critical to meet the dietary needs of the growing human population. These factors cumulatively are responsible for the significant share captured by production animals in this segment. The companion animal segment is expected to grow lucratively during the forecast period owing to an increase in demand for efficient animal care and the pet-human bond due to the associated health benefits. Companion animals are known to lower blood pressure, provide psychological stability, and reduce the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias and anxiety attacks, which enhance the overall well-being of humans. Consequentially, animal-assisted therapy is increasingly preferred as a result of these companion animal products, which, in turn, is likely to drive the segment in the coming years.
The veterinary hospital pharmacy segment accounted for a revenue share of over 51.0% in 2021. The increasing number of hospital pharmacies, coupled with high procedural volume as a consequence of frequent readmission of pets for treatment, has supported segment growth. Retail channels and e-commerce platforms also accounted for a significant share of the total market. The e-commerce segment is anticipated to witness exponential growth throughout the forecast period. This can be attributed to various advantages such as increased convenience for patients not willing to purchase medicines from retail or hospital pharmacies.
Moreover, these also facilitate a consistent supply of drugs, as medications can be preordered. Benefits such as these are anticipated to accentuate the demand for e-commerce throughout the forecast period. With the help of online pharmacies, order procurement and tracking become easy as associated Supply Chain Management (SCM) eliminates other market intermediaries of the delivery channel. This reduces overall costs, thereby increasing customer preference. Retail pharmacies for animal health products are expected to grow at a moderate rate throughout the forecast period.
Major manufacturers rely on only licensed veterinarians and authorized distributors for the distribution of medications andvaccines. This is anticipated to propel segment growth over the forecast period. E-commerce/online pharmacies selling animal health products are anticipated to witness exponential growth throughout the forecast period. This growth is believed to be a result of various advantages such as increased convenience for patients not willing to purchase medicines from retail or hospital pharmacies.
The veterinary hospitals and clinics segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 73.0% in 2021. The dominant share captured by this segment is a consequence of various applications such as clinical pathology, toxicology tests, and therapy. The availability of a wide range of treatment as well as diagnostic options in veterinary hospitals and clinics is a high-impact rendering growth driver for this segment. An increase in the incidence of zoonotic diseases caused by globalization and climate changes is expected to drive the demand for diagnostic procedures, which is expected to drive the point-of-care testing/in-house testing segment in the coming years.
The increase in initiatives to create awareness among companion animal owners about the benefits and value of preventive care in pets is one of the key contributing factors to in-house testing in animal health. Tests such as ELISA have been proven an effective point-of-care tests for heartworm diagnosis. Certain vaccines are only available in accredited veterinary hospitals and clinics, which is responsible for increasing the share of this end-user segment. Various government animal welfare organizations have issued guidelines for safety practices and standards to be implemented in veterinary hospitals and clinics, which has broadened the scope for segment growth over the past few years.
North America dominated the market for animal health and accounted for the largest revenue share of 29.5% in 2021, owing to the wide range of definitive measures adopted by government animal welfare organizations that are consistently working for overall improvement in animal health. Furthermore, technological advancements, the rising incidence of zoonotic diseases, and an increasing number of pet owners are expected to boost the market growth in this country. Several collaborative efforts by major companies to enhance their R&D capabilities and ensure high-quality standards are anticipated to impel the demand further across this region. Moreover, the majority share can also be attributed to the high disease burden in this region.
In Asia Pacific, the market for animal health is expected to register a lucrative CAGR of 10.5% over the coming years. The high growth registered by this region is believed to be a consequence of consistent R&D investments by prominent players in the field of animal health and their efforts to commercialize branded and generic therapeutics at a relatively inexpensive price. The exponential growth is owing to growing awareness pertaining to pet nutrition and supplies and increasing disposable income.
